• Rachel Landon as Ariko

• Carolyn Medrano as Hiroko

Sentai Filmworks will release the series on July 11 as part of a bundle exclusively through its online store. The bundle includes the DVD and Blu-ray Disc combo pack, a t-shirt, lenticular poster, and three double-sided art cards.

Sentai Filmworks describes the series:

In a mystical world where humans and supernatural creatures co-exist, the dark and ancient race of beings known as the Kamikui are on the rise. To stop them, the people of Japan will need a mighty army of heroines with unparalleled fighting skills. Unfortunately, times are tough, and they'll have to make do with a runaway Princess; the axe-wielding and frequently drunken daughter of an Orc tavern owner; an internet troll who lives in her own fantasy world; and a frazzled fighter who would love to stick to the rules of combat if she could reign the others in for even half a second. It may not be an epic out of legend, and Japan might be doomed, but at least the road to damnation is going to be a heck of a fun journey as our wannabe world-savers cut loose in ONIGIRI!

The 13-episode series of five-minute shorts premiered in April 2016 and The Anime Network streamed the series as it aired, and Tubi TV also added a delayed simulcast.
